I have a fish tank for about a month now with dream blue shrimp. The shrimp I got are homebred. But ever since I got them a week ago they seem to be dying one by one. It does look like they fail to molt. I can’t figure out what might be causing it. What I notice before they die is that, they will become inactive and rarely move. When they do move it would look like they barely could move. I either feed them bacter ae, shrimp king mineral, or protein every other day. The tank is planted with java moss, fern, and wisteria. It has carrbisea natural sand substrate.
I do fertilize my tank once a week with aquarium co op easy green. I was think maybe switching to ro water with salty shrimp gh/kh if that may help?
Thank you
I do have another tank with near same water parameters and my cherry shrimp are thriving in it.
